The Great Hoax - Shapes EP

nsu Remix of The Great Hoax now released

nsu’s remix of “Insufficient Funds” by The Great Hoax has been released on their debut “Shapes” EP. The EP, made up of original works by the Wellington band, has an eclectic mix of styles ranging from psychedelic and experimental to gritty jazzy blues and electronic funk from various influences of music and philosophy.

The first official release from nsu is a collaboration with the mighty Squeezer Project: A double A-side single comprising of Juice Of Life, an uplifting old school breakbeat funk-rush, backed by West Coast Dub, an organic dub cut, a vocal piece featuring didgeridoo and a lapsteel solo by Jus8ken.

Juice of Life / West Coast Dub, a dual single, with both songs written and produced in collaboration with the mighty Squeezer Project, with some fantastic vocals and instrumentation on “West Coast Dub” by jus8ken.

The single will only be available digitally through stores such as iTunes, Amazon, Napster, etc. Full details in the next couple of weeks – watch this space.

Live Video

Earlier this year, in March, nsu played a live set at the Downbeat Syndrome gig in Auckland. During the set, Micah Stray Theories spontaneously joined nsu on stage and played some great saxophone improvisations during nsu’s performance of “Darkness” and “Concordia”.

The latest remix by nsu is a minimal tech-house treatment of Sharkweek‘s “Reach Out to the Stars”, from his debut album “Hammerhead Nebula”. The remix will appear on the Sharkweek remix album “Shark’s Head Soup” later in the year, among remixes by other NZ artists.

Currently in the works are remixes for Squeezer Project and Stray Theories.
